Rickenbacker 4003
61 available from $1,950Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar offers updates to the 4001 just as the 4001 upgraded the 4000. Though the 4001 went out of production in the '80s, the 4003 lived on to become Rickenbacker’s most popular bass model. The cresting wave body shape remains consistent between the 4001 and 4003, but the 4003 bass changes up the truss rod system. The 4003 has collected a number of famous fans, including Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, and more. - 9
Fender Justin Meldal-Johnsen Road Worn Signature Mustang Bass
17 available from $1,349.99When Justin Meldal-Johnsen's guitar tech handed him his first Mustang a decade ago, he was immediately enthralled with the short-scale size and blown away by all that it could do. So when it came time to design his signature bass, he wanted something as close to his own personal vintage '66 Mustang as he could get, resulting in the JMJ Road Worn Mustang. It features the same Daphne Blue finish, with a detail-conscious relic job featuring an authentic ‘60s-era aged pearl pickguard for that vintage vibe. Importantly, it’s also outfitted with a custom-spec, single-coil Mustang pickup that’s voiced as closely to JMJ’s vintage original as possible. - 10

Fender JB-62 Jazz Bass Reissue MIJ
144 available from $577The first era of Fender Japan began in 1982, when domestic market Japanese Fenders started rolling out of factories. While Fender Japan is popularly known for some of their more extravagant aesthetics, the bulk of domestic Japanese production was focused on reissues of historic American Fender models. These reissue models were labeled by a two letter/two number model code for the model and reissue year, followed by a suffix that indicated the price in Yen, and any unique specifications the model had. While a given model might come in a variety of price points during a given model year, from entry level to the near Custom Shop quality of Fender Japan's ExTrad series, all the models would broadly follow the aesthetic and technical specifications of the original American models. Reissue models would follow this naming convention until 2015, when Fender Japan revamped their product line to more closely mirror the organizational structure of the Mexican and American made Fender lines. Models on this page represent the 1982 - 2015 era of Fender Japan production, and typically feature the old style Fender Japan serial number at the base of the neck, as opposed to the contemporary "JD-" serial number format found on the back of the headstock. The original model codes (and frequently the value suffix) can usually be found in the neck pocket of the body, and at the base of the neck where the mounting holes are. - 24
Rickenbacker 4003S
27 available from $1,599Just as the 4001 was introduced as an upgrade to the 4000, the Rickenbacker 4003 was introduced in 1980 as an upgrade to the 4001. After the 4001 was discontinued in 1986, the 4003 became Rickenbacker's main production bass. The two basses actually differ very little apart from a few minor cosmetic changes and a change in the trust rod system. The 4003S follows the same basic design as the 4003 with the exception of the omission of binding and triangle inlays.
Body Style: “Cresting Wave” solidbody
Wood Composition: Maple body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard
Design Elements: Neck-thru construction, triangular inlay, bound neck, Ric-O-Sound wiring
